Reversible-deactivation polymerization in which the deactivation of the active species involves degenerative chain transfer.
Note:
This term has often been specifically associated with degenerative chain-transfer radical polymerization. However, there are also degenerative chain-transfer processes involving non-radical mechanisms (e.g., cationic, anionic, or coordination polymerization).
